Never Leave You
Letta Mbulu Lyrics

I will never leave you darling
The singer promises to never abandon their loved one

I was meant to love you forever
The singer believes their destiny involves loving their partner eternally

When nature made me a woman
The singer believes that their gender is important in determining their role in the relationship

She meant for me to take my place beside you
The singer believes that they were meant to stand beside their partner in a supportive role

I'll never, never leave you darling
The singer reiterates their promise to never leave their partner

Not ever
The singer emphasizes that their promise is absolute and will never be broken

Through the years of easy living living
The singer promises to stay by their partner's side during times of comfort and ease

I'll take my place beside you
The singer promises to support their partner through whatever life throws at them

When hard times come a-knocking
The singer promises to stay by their partner's side through tough times

I'm gonna take my place beside you
The singer reiterates their promise to stand beside their partner during difficult times

I will be your morning Sun
The singer says they will be a source of light and encouragement for their partner

Giving birth to hope and to courage
The singer promises to inspire their partner with hope and courage

When this troubled world gets you down
The singer promises to stand by their partner when the world is against them

Like a rock I'll remain strong
The singer promises to be a steady and supportive presence for their partner

Because you've been so good to me
The singer is grateful for their partner's love and promises to reciprocate it

You showed me what love should be
The singer thanks their partner for showing them how to love

When we tell our story darling
The singer imagines telling their love story with their partner

Picture the smiles on our children's faces
The singer imagines the joy their love will bring to their future children

When we tell them how we got together
The singer imagines telling their children the story of how they met and fell in love

That all you had to say was the magic word
The singer references a moment of realization where they knew their partner loved them

Baby I love you
The magic word the singer references is their partner saying "I love you"

Love you babe (Never, leave you darling)
The singer expresses their love and promise to never leave their partner

Love you baby (Never, leave you darling)
The singer once again expresses love and promise to never leave

Love you, love you, love you, love you, love you (Never)
The singer repeats their love and promise to stay forever

Love you, love you, love you, love you (Leave you)
The singer repeats their love but negates the idea of ever leaving their partner

Love you babe (Darling)
The singer expresses love endearingly

(Never, leave you darling)
The singer repeats their promise to never leave their partner

I love you baby (Never, leave you darling)
The singer ends by repeating their love and promise to stay together forever

Love you baby (Never, leave you darling)
The song ends with a final declaration of love and commitment
